The millennial river

"Beauty will be seen to be not a rare luxury, but an essential and powerful element of daily living."

Over two millennia ago, an Old Testament prophet discovered a celestial river whose headwaters were in Paradise. Eventually his discovery was written down, and today it appears in the book of Genesis:

"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates" (2:10-14).
